Big10 teams don't play more than 1 P4 OOC game

Purdue is the only one with 2 in a season scheduled for the next 5-6 years. In the ACC, almost every school has at least 2 P4 schools scheduled each year for the next 5-6 years. Yes, there are some FCS and G5 schools scheduled, but most of the SEC. Big XII, and Big10 also have FCS/G5 schools making up games 11 and 12. Network talking heads may ***** about it, but the network honchos love those games because they add more inventory for them. On Sept 9, Disney had 14 games in their ACC inventory because everyone is play OOC. On October 14, Disney had 5 games total in their ACC inventory because teams were playing in conference and had byes. The only way to add inventory is to expand the conference, or add OOC games.

So FSU is already scheduling like they are in the SEC playing North Alabama
OrlandoHokie • 11/16/23 10:25 PM ET
Seems FSU & Clemson have done this for a while
HOO86 • 11/17/23 07:43 PM ET
Clemson did the same thing scheduling UNC before the Gamechickens
ren_hoek • 11/17/23 02:04 PM ET
Clemson is favored by 7.5 points. **
tarheelblue • 11/17/23 05:23 PM ET
SEC & ACC need to go to 9 conference games. These games are stupid.**
reestuart • 11/17/23 12:59 PM ET
Call me greedy, but I want 10 conference games.
Maroon Baboon • 11/18/23 10:47 AM ET
I'm happy going to 9 now...maybe the scheduling will have F$U visit VT?
EDGEMAN • 11/20/23 10:45 AM ET
Me too…4 OOC games allows cupcake games
MrBayAreaHokie • 11/18/23 10:48 PM ET
When ESPN is willing to pay more $ for a 9th conference game it will happen
tarheelblue • 11/17/23 05:14 PM ET
exactly and GT Lville, FSU and Clemson do not want 9 games
Mercury • 11/17/23 10:33 PM ET
I can't believe they haven't demanded it. That SEC schedule this weekend
reestuart • 11/17/23 05:19 PM ET
Read an article today than an undefeated FSU may not make the playoffs. If
Big12 guy • 11/17/23 06:48 PM ET
I think FSU is plenty safe. UF and LSU OOC is plenty. **
reestuart • 11/18/23 03:38 AM ET
Washington won't get in ahead of FSU.
tarheelblue • 11/17/23 08:49 PM ET
I’m hoping Georgia kicks Alabama to oblivion.
RJHokie • 11/17/23 07:03 PM ET
Can all of the schools you listed lose? That is what I hope for.**
Big12 guy • 11/17/23 10:10 PM ET
Not this week……
RJHokie • 11/17/23 10:17 PM ET
That would be great, my thoughts precisely !**
FLKEYSHOKIE • 11/17/23 07:53 PM ET
The problem with 9 conference games is it limits a team's OOC game options
VTHokie2000 • 11/17/23 01:51 PM ET
You're right. It does.
HOO86 • 11/17/23 07:36 PM ET
Big Ten seems to manage it. Same with P12 (RIP) and Big XII. ACC & SEC are
reestuart • 11/17/23 02:03 PM ET
If you look at the top Big Ten teams, then you will see most (maybe all)
VTHokie2000 • 11/17/23 02:43 PM ET
ACC and SEC aren't playing 2 OOC P5 opponents. Many don't play 1.
reestuart • 11/17/23 02:47 PM ET
Big10 teams don't play more than 1 P4 OOC game ◄
mrcaniac • 11/17/23 07:27 PM ET
Every ACC and SEC team is required to schedule at least 1 OOC game against
VTHokie2000 • 11/17/23 02:58 PM ET
BC 2023 ooc: Northern IL, Holy Cross, Army, UConn**
daveinop • 11/17/23 03:08 PM ET
I guess the ACC considers Army on that list too even though I can't find
VTHokie2000 • 11/17/23 03:56 PM ET
BC was supposed to play Ohio State this year and next
mrcaniac • 11/17/23 03:21 PM ET
LOL!
EDGEMAN • 11/17/23 08:54 AM ET
Seems to be an SEC thing **
